Big Jeff Plays
Politics Game
For Ex-Soldiers
Urges Military Affairs Com
raittee to Allow Use of Camp
Equipment at Reunions
Of Veterans.
By E. C. SNYDER.
Waehlntten Correspondent Omnha Be.
Washington, July 20. (Special
Telegram.) "Big Jeff" played a
clever game of politics today for
members of the 88th and 34th divi
sions, A. E. F., who are planning
reunions in Des Moines and Omaha
in August and September.
Some time ago the Second dis
trict congressman was asked by
Capt. Anan Raymond and Lieut. J,
F. McDermott of Omaha to secure,
j if possible from the War department,
the loan of cots and bedding for the
Des Moines reunion. "Jeff" got
busy, ascertaining through a person
al visit to Secretary Weeks that the
War department was permitted to
loan tents to organizations like the
88th division, but could not loan cots
or bedding.
By this time the Iowa delegation,
through its senators and representa
tives, was enlisted in the cause and
Congressman Dowell of the Des
Moines district, instituted a joint
resolution directing the secretary of
war to provide cots and bedding for
the reunion of the 88th division, in
view of the fact that such camp
equipment was (available at Camp
Dodge.
Desiring to establish a precedent,
efferis and Doweli today had a
earing before the military affairs
committee of the house on the Do-
ell resolution. "Biz Jeff" took the
position that where cots ana Dian
kets were available at places where
reunions were to be held service men
should have the whole of them, for
nothing, was too good for their hap
piness and comfort. He said he could
understand the position of the War
department in not wanting to spend
money in transporting cots, blankets,
etc., but where they were available,
as at Des Moines, he could see no
reason why the veterans of the world
war should not be permitted to use
the equipment on the ground.
Congressman Dowell of Iowa pre
sented the main argument in behalf
of his resolution, which was unani
mously agreed to by the military af
fairs committee and a favorable re
port authorized.
Having assisted in thus establish
ing a precedent, Congressman Jef
feris will introduce tomorrow a sim
ilar resolution as the Dowell resolu
tion authorizing the secretary of war
to provide cots and blankets for the
reunion of the 34th division, which
will meet in Omaha during Ak-Sar-Bcn
week, September 19, 20 and 21.

Mathews' Bank in
Denver Is Closed
Failure of Pioneer Bank Here
Reflected in Plight of Col
orado Institution.
Denver, July 20. (Special Tele
gram.) The Denver State bank in
Denver, owned almost exclusively in
Omaha, was closed yesterday by the
state bank examiner.
Practically all of the bank's stock
is held by M. V. Mathews, president
of the institution and also president
of the Pioneer State bank of Oma
ha, which was taken in charge re
cently by the state bank commis
sioner of Nebraska.
Representatives of the Colorado
commissioner said the failure of the
Omaha institution is reflected in the
present embarrassment of the Den
ver bank, which is understood to be
solvent. Its assets are listed at
about $150,000.
Chief Deputy State Bank Com
missioner Olsen, who took charge
of the bank, stated that no check of
he assets, the notes held and other
pertinent matters had been made
and that he could give no authentic
statement as to the exact condition
of the bank.
The bank had a capita! of $50,000
and deposits of $150,000. Officials
said assets were ample to cover de
posits, but were described as of
"slow nature."
The local bank was not a member
of the Denver clearing house.

Thinking About Glass
Of Beer Expensive
For Des Moines Man
Des Moines, July 20. Merely
thinking of a cool glass of beer
nearly cost S. B. Phipps $25 and
costs in Judge Bonner's court today.
Phipps, 71, was called into court
for disobeying traffic rules and curs
ing the traffic cop.
"Well, your honor, I did not see
the policeman at all. I was looking
at a picture in the window of a
Lemp beer saloon and wishing I had
a glass of beer. I came six blocks
without meeting a policeman and had
forgotten all about traffic cops."
"In that case," Judge Bonner said,
"we will fine you $25 and costs, just
the Dnce of six kegs of beer.
Later Judge Bonner suspended the
fine when rhinos promised to tor
get about beer while he was driving
down town.
Tuesday night the board of trus
tees ci East Omaha was scheduled
to hold its regular semi-monthly
meeting.
M. C. Hayden and J. M. Santee,
two of the five board members, ap
peared at the city hall and were
greeted by a fiocK of mosquitoes
who couldn't vote.
Rufus Shaler, third member, was
when she was in Omaha and over
which she enthused.
It was the bungalow which George
secured for his very own when he
nailed it as the capital award in The
Bee s big Help Yourself club can
paign for subscriptions.
The home alone was valued at
$7,800. but after George and his
wife got all settled into it last even
ing they threw dull care away and
took a cooling drive in their new
$1,650 Overland sedan, which he also
won as a special award during the
Help Yourself campaign.
"Georsre sure is a lucky guy,
sighed a number of his fellow offi
cers at Central police station, as
they listened to his tales of moving
day thrills, but George only grinned
in reply.
"Yes, lucky," quoth he, "but it was
my many friends I must thank for
that house and car. My total votes
for subscriptions to The Bee were
57,263.240, so you see I owe them
much."
